So, what cameras are you using nowadays?

[Frank Fremerey]

I have evolved to Fujifilm X cameras. I started with Canon ... then tried Olympus MFT and now it's Fuji. I still have my old stuff, but it is collecting dust or used to keep loose papers from flying about when the door is opened.

Yesterday I finally got rid of all the non digital stuff in my two big blue Sinar Boxes: Filmholders, Groundglassbacks with slits to insert measuring equipment, Darkbag for changing film, Polaroidtimer, Sheetfilm. All the stuff into an extra box...

Great shot of you in action.

Welcome!

Panda Df for me.
The Df loves my old Nikkor-H 85mm f1.8, 105mm f2.5 (with f32) and the Nikkor-H-C 24 f2.8. These lenses were all purchased in 1974 through 1978 when I was in university! I wish I kept my 55mm f1.2......  So, I use the 50 f1.8 kit lens.

Thank you Frank. Having recently added a Fuji GX680III, I'm sorta going the other way. I'm hoping to try my hand at some landscapes.

The Fuji G-Series is great and it is easy to get all sorts of film for it.

For me film is over for the time being. Large Format is with the Sinar and D600 as Digiback (might be a Fuji or Sony in the future) OR: With my ABSOLUTE Pano adapter which gives me 800 Megapixels from one roundtrip 360°x180°

So, what are you using these days?

D4s: for shooting everything (my most versatile camera) with any lenses, and video,
D800: for wildlife, scenery and lens testing  ,
D2Hs (x2): for sport, action, daylight street photography, with fast primes,
D2X: for portrait, landscape, wildlife and sport with fast primes.

The inevitable question... always fun to reply and read other replies.

I have sold all my Nikon stuff except for a few MF lenses that I have chipped myself, which I might use again in the future. No AF Nikkors remain in my cabinet.
The only system camera I have is aFuji X-T1 with several Fuji lenses, plus a RX100 (Mk I) for casual shots and video, and (rarely) underwater photography with an underwater enclosure.

Well the route for me was
- Olympus Trip (1975)
- Cosina (1977)
- Various Pentax in 1980's, finishing with
   Pentax LX (I never owned a film Nikon, but the LX was my favourite ever body)
   And a Pentax 6x7
- Long pause when children got in the way
- Minolta A1
- Nikon D50 (2005)
- Nikon D300 (2008 till present)

There's no sign that I will move to another camera body at the moment.
But hey, who knows what the future might bring?

[Rick Waldroup]

A couple of Olympus OM-D E-M5 bodies for event and PJ work.

For my street work, I am still shooting my Panasonic GF-1.  In the very near future, I will be adding a Panasonic GX-7 for the street stuff.

And a bunch of micro 4/3 lenses to fit all the cameras.

Nobody mentioned owning a D750, why is that?

I've played with one on the Photokina and it seems like a very capable camera.

A D750 is my only DSLR. I bought a Fuji X-T1 and used that for a while. Impressive camera in many ways but I couldn't come to terms with the AF performance, particularly not C-AF. Perhaps the announced new firmware would change that but it's too late. I sold my Fuji gear and bought a D750 which I quite like. I'm impressed by the performance compared to the D700 which I owned before.

For snapshots, both still and video, I use my iPhone 6.

D4
D7100 with grip
X100T

D4 is my favorite, D7100 gets taken out often and X100t goes with me when traveling out of town.

The X100t will go with us on our upcoming bicycling vacation in the coastal part of Tuscany.

Fuji X-T1 but I still need to learn how to use it decently.
And Nikon 1 V1 for IR although I don't use it much currently. It should see more use during the summer when I have time to experiment again.

D700's

D200 & D80  (Back up and lenscompatability of D200)

Sony NEX-5-R  just acquired for the price of an adapter. Interesting to use with all kind of lenses (The flange focal distance and the APS-C sensor can be used as an advantage here). Interacts nicely with Sony's Xperia Z.

In the meanwile on the look for D810 or a future higher resolution camera which handles best with mostly Nikkor lenses. 

[bendle]

Nikon DF And old AI,AIS lenses. Fuji XT1 With several lenses.

[chris dees]

Nikon D810, Df and D7200 which will be sold tomorrow (more or less for the same reasons Lance explained).
Nikon 1 V1, V2 and V1 IR converted.

A couple of years back I had a nice collection of AI-s lenses (all chipped by Dr. Lens).
When I upgraded from D700 to D800E I sold them all as I was not able to MF with the D800E.
Now with the Df I regret that sell-off and I will get a few MF lenses again. Never too old to learn.

Just curious what cameras you guys and girls are using nowadays?

Though I still consider myself a Nikon shooter my only camera at the moment is the Sony a7S which serves my current needs as a travel / hiking camera perfectly with it small size, high ISO low pixel sensor, electronic first curtain (I shoot a lot at slow shutter speeds) and the capability to use lenses with several lens mounts which currently includes Nikon F, Canon EF, Leica M and LTM, Contax G, Sony FE, etc but I plan to thin the herd a bit in the coming months.

So, what are you using these days?

Hmmm . . . I've slowly graduated to having multiple cameras across multiple formats, and multiple brands.

FX:  Currently D800, but an A7RII is on the way.  D800 is great for tripod and AF work, but terrible with my manual focus glass.  Also, bulky and heavy.  Trying to make the A7RII the light weight kit by getting 15/4.5III & 40/1.4 Voigts. (both M mounts) and using my 90/3.5 APO CV and 180/4 APO CV in f-mount - pretty wide to pretty long in 4 lenses and a small-ish camera.  Likely use on of my 16/3.5 AI's along with this setup just to get that 170 deg. FOV.

m43:  Panasonic GX7 and Olympus EM-1.  Love the UI and external ergonomics of the GX7, but it can't focus my 150/2 Oly to save itself nor my 135/2 APO Zeiss due to lack of full-time IBIS.  BUT, the GX7 is my go to lens to use with my other m43 lenses.  Hate the EM-1  UI and external ergonomics, but the PDAF is great and full time IBIS is excellent.  I have a Pany G5 for my daughter and a Pany GH3 I bought for remote video for work purposes.

Need highest DR, AF, or tripod work:  D800
Need light weight and on-the go FX:  A7RII
Need more casual shots/vidoe with excellent m43 primes:  GX7
Need to focus 43 lenses or longer primes:  EM-1

I'm hoping the GX8 comes out with full time IBIS and can focus 43 lenses much better than the GX7 - then I can sell the EM-1 and pare things down a bit.

And I do realize I'm spoiled (equipment-wise) compared to most photographers, but I find I really like having the right tool for the situation and am willing to spend some cash on it.  I have very few other "toys" otherwise
